Lanesboro - Notes from the Thayer Reunion on Aug. 12th at Riverside Park. After a picnic lunch, first in order was the election of President; Dr. S.J. Engle was nominated and he being absent at the time Mrs. Engle declined for him, but after a short consultation it was decided not to leave so serious a case in the hands of a physician's wife, so the Dr. was elected unanimously. After vice-president Chas. Burrhus was nominated and elected, Dr. L.S. Potter was elected Secretary. Pres. elect Engle was elected Treasurer. Secretary and Treasurer's report was then called for, but as usual, the minutes were forgotten, so report was verbal. And thus the Secretary left it. Before completing the report he was ushered into eternity. How true, "we know not what a day may bring forth." The boat ride up the river which so many of us had looked forward to could not materialize on account of one of the oldest, if not the oldest member of the family. If all is well, the next meeting will be held at the residence of Mr and Mrs. Chas. Burrhus in Susquehanna. [Obviously, this was a very "colorful" reunion].
